Hickory's 5.7 Rotisserie is specifically designed to yield the most product within a narrow profile, and as a result gives tremendous capacity in the least amount of space. The Model 5.7 uses gas generators for energy efficiency and features an optional rear burner using infrared ceramics or ceramic logs, to simulate an open hearth effect. The 5.7 batch rotisserie employs a double rotational planetary drive system to assure the utmost product quality. With an exceptionally large frontal glass area, the 5.7 is the right choice for those prepared food establishments that are highlighting their freshly prepared rotisserie products.

Cooking: Thermostatic controls activate the infrared gas burner/generators when the temperature falls below a prescribed setting. Each gas burner can be individually controlled, as well as the rear "fireplace" burner, which can be used with ceramic logs to project an open hearth effect. In less than nine square feet the 5.7 can accommodate 35 to 42 chickens per batch and cook them to perfection in less than one hour. The 5.7 will also accommodate roasts and ducks. Other optional attachments are available to cook product that cannot easily be placed on a spit.

Merchandising: The interior cooking area of the 5.7 is fully illuminated with lighting mounted in both the front and rear areas. The cooking compartment features heat resistant tempered glass to allow for an unobstructed view of the constantly rotating roasting process. The unit can be optionally configured for pass-through applications. The 5.7's best viewing position is directly from the front so that the consumer becomes enticed with the sight of the delicious roasting product.
